When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the conference room suddenly became silent.
Those present were all senior executives of Inter Milan, but everyone's face showed a look of helplessness.
They had been mentally prepared for it, but when this fact came, they still felt helpless and depressed.
Everyone here can't help but ask: Why?
At its peak, it was nine points ahead, but why was it only late March that it suddenly fell behind by five points?
Where does this 14-point gap come from?
Did you lose points too quickly and suddenly?
It feels as if Inter Milan, which was so strong in the first half, suddenly collapsed after entering the winter break.
This doesn't make sense, does it?
The loss to Liverpool in the Champions League can be explained by the fact that Liverpool is too strong and the Premier League is in its prime.
But the problem is, we are talking about Serie A now, the Serie A that Inter Milan regards as forbidden!
…
"What do you think?" Moratti's voice sounded much older, giving people a feeling of weakness.
At this moment, he must be feeling very disappointed.
From being nine points ahead to being five points behind now, there are still eight rounds left in the league. Although there is still a chance, who has confidence?
"Change the coach, dad!" Angelo Moratti said.
He made this suggestion on the night when Inter Milan suffered a 5-0 defeat to Naples away from home.
If Moratti had been ruthless at that time and directly initiated a coaching change and hired Gao Shen from Naples, then nothing like this would have happened now. It might even be that Inter Milan, not Naples, was five points ahead.
It is even possible that Liverpool can be reversed in the Champions League knockout rounds.
Do not believe?
Think of Gao Shen’s legend at Real Madrid!
"I also agree with the coaching change." CEO Paolillo also said, "In any case, judging from the current situation, Mancho is no longer able to change the team's predicament, and coaching change is the best option."
Moratti remained silent and did not speak. He was also determined to change coaches, but when would he do so?
"Marco, you are the technical director, what do you think?" Moratti looked at the technical director Blanca.
Everyone's attention immediately turned to Blanca. The latter also felt everyone's concern. After brewing his emotions and organizing his thoughts, he spoke.
"As the technical director, I must say that the team's current predicament is caused by many factors."
"First, our lineup has shortcomings. In fact, Gao Shen is right at all. We lack creativity and passing. We also have too many older players in our lineup. They are very experienced, but they have been fighting on multiple fronts for a long time.
In the second half of the season, we lost strength and that’s how the wave of injuries came about.”
Everyone nodded and listened to Blanca continue.
"Second, Mancini has an unshirkable responsibility."
"He knows the team's lineup and even participated in it, but he is indeed too confident and pays too much attention to the Champions League and ignores Serie A. At the same time, he also ignores the seriousness caused by the average age and multi-line combat.
Challenge, when arranging season strategies and training, it is not scientific enough and there are no reasonable arrangements."
"In the first half of the season, when the team's physical fitness was good, there were not big problems. But in the second half, all the problems were exposed and even intensified. Mancini had no way to do anything about it."
"Not to mention, he is currently in the locker room, having conflicts with Ibrahimovic, Vieira and others, and failing to come up with good and effective countermeasures, unable to change the team's difficulties.
Bureau, as the head coach, he must be responsible."
This time, even Moratti couldn't help but nod.
What Blanca said was very objective.
"There is also the last one, which is actually the main reason for our current predicament, Gao Shen!"
When he heard the name, Moratti suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the technical director, "Gao Shen?"
He wondered if he heard wrongly?
One person caused the dilemma that Inter Milan cannot resolve now?
"You can look at the standings. We are five points behind Naples, but behind us, Roma is four points behind us. That is to say, if there is no sudden emergence of Naples this season, we are still the leader. Mancini's tactics,
The team's predicament, all the problems wouldn't exist, would they?"
Everyone understood what Blanca meant.
Whether it's bad or not depends on comparison.
Inter Milan does play poorly, but the problem is that other teams in Serie A are even worse.
AC Milan, the defending champion of the Champions League, is still ranked sixth, unable to break into the top four.
"Everyone can think about it again: when did our predicament begin? When did it become uncontrollable?"
Listening to Blanca's words, everyone here began to reminisce.
“Our real dilemma was that Naples kept chasing after the winter break and kept narrowing the gap. In the game in Sao Paulo, we were finally overwhelmed and lost 0-5. The two teams had the same points. Naples came back and climbed to the top by relying on their results.
"Guyu
Everyone nodded, that was indeed the case.
"But in the following two rounds, we have obviously stabilized our position and won two consecutive victories. But at this critical moment, Gao Shen stood up again. He accused our team through the media. In the Italian media
There was a wave of criticism in the field, thinking that we lacked creativity, lacked passing, and was inconsistent defensively..."
"Yes, what he said is true, but this has brought us huge pressure invisibly. The position we had just stabilized has collapsed again. In the last two rounds, we have drawn and lost, and even lost 1-2 at home.
Juventus.”
After everyone heard this, they finally understood what Blanca meant.
Judging from various situations, Gao Shen is indeed the culprit responsible for Inter Milan's current predicament.
Even his previous remarks in the media have increased the burden on Inter Milan.
As for Naples, does anyone still doubt the strength of this team?
All the players on this team, except for little Cannavaro, were all brought in by Gao Shen, and they were all promoted and cultivated by him personally.
This is an elite team!
What Blanca said is absolutely correct.
…
Blanca's words took everyone in the conference room to digest them for a while.
Finally, they all came to a conclusion in unison.
Excellent writing!
It can be said that at this point, a coaching change is inevitable and has even been a consensus for a long time.
The key is when to change?
Angelo Moratti and Paolillo proposed changing now, but Blanca and Oriali did not give a clear attitude.
Moratti hesitated.
"As you know, Mancho is a great contributor to our Inter Milan!"
Moratti recalled the past. From the time he took over Inter Milan to the present, he has experienced too many head coaches, introduced too many stars, and spent too much money. But until Mancini, Inter Milan
Only then can we truly become the top team in Serie A and win the championship.
"I have always believed that we at Inter Milan should not treat people with great achievements like this. His performance in leading the team did not meet the requirements. We need to change the coach. It is understandable. Mancho also told me personally that he will leave after the end of this season.
, not even liquidated damages."
"If I change coaches now, I can't explain to him, and I can't explain to myself either."
When Moratti said this, he saw the disappointed look on his son's face.
He knew that his son had ideas, but he still wanted to take the opportunity to educate him.
"Football is never just football, it is a feeling and a memory. When you are too obsessed with the results, you will easily miss the most moving scenery on the road."
"I want the championship, but I want to win the championship in my own way and in Inter Milan's way!"
"Rijkaard did not win the Champions League, but Barcelona still gave him two seasons and only now proposed a coaching change. And how could we not even give Mancho, a man who has made great contributions to the club, two more
Isn’t it okay even for months?”
Moratti has already said this, so what else is there to say?
Being emotional has always been his weakness, and it is also his most criticized shortcoming.
But isn’t this his advantage?
How many fans, coaches, and players around the world are impressed by his feelings?
…
There will be a coaching change in the summer, and we need to start preparing now.
Inter Milan drafted a list for coaching changes early on, and after in-depth inspection and research by the technical team, the list has been narrowed down again and again, and now only five people are left.
But those ranked first and second are the truly competitive candidates.
"I choose Gao Shen!" Angelo Moratti was the first to express his opinion. "I think he is one of the best coaches in Italy and even Europe. I believe he can bring earth-shaking success to Inter Milan."
Variety."
"I also choose Gao Shen. He is from China and his market potential is amazing. He can greatly help us expand our market value in Asia. And as Angelo said, he is one of the best head coaches now." Pauli
Luo also expressed his stance.
After Blanca thought for a while, "I must say that Gao Shen is one of the best coaches in Italy and even European football, but if he is invited to coach, our team will probably have to be reorganized on a large scale.
Most of the players could not adapt to his requirements, but it was Mourinho... But there is news that he has now volunteered to coach Barcelona."
If you can coach Barcelona, you will naturally not consider Inter Milan.
"I also got this news, but I heard that the number one candidate on Barcelona's coaching list is Gao Shen!" Oriali took over and said.
Frank Rijkaard is determined to be dismissed at the end of this season, Barcelona is about to change its coach, and Gao Shen has always been the most promising candidate by the Catalan media.
There was even news in Spain because of this incident.
Real Madrid fans believe that Gao Shen is a legend of Real Madrid and must not be allowed to coach Barcelona.
It just so happens that Schuster is not liked by Real Madrid fans, so many Real Madrid fans have launched a vigorous "Defend Gao Shen" campaign, advocating that Real Madrid invite Gao Shen back to prevent Gao Shen from coaching the arch-rival Barcelona.
There are also Liverpool, Juventus, Bayern Munich, and even AC Milan. These giants all covet Gao Shen.
This summer, Gao Shen is the protagonist of European football!
